Liverpool actor and impressionist Peter Serafinowicz has given American presidential hopeful Donald Trump a new voice.

The 43-year-old performer has dubbed a speech by Trump – or Donald Thump as he has styled him – into a cockney accent in a video posted on YouTube.

Serafinowicz, who is known for his uncanny impressions of celebrities including Sir Terry Wogan, Simon Cowell and Al Pacino, told his 750,000 Twitter followers: “I gave Donald Trump a cockney tough guy accent”.

The former SFX schoolboy, who returned to Liverpool in 2011 to take part in an In Conversation about his life and work, was also responsible for dubbing the voice of Darth Maul in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
